Algebra.Com's Answer #783046 by Boreal(15235) You can put this solution on YOUR website! the total number of ways to select 4 from 18 is 18C4, and that is the denominator \n" ); document.write( "the numerator for 3 students is 15C3 *3C1 for the teacher. Note the left of C add up to the left of C in the denominator, and the same to the right of C. \n" ); document.write( "=455*3/3060=0.4461 probability of selecting 3 students.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "for 0, it is 9C0*11C6/20C6=462/38760=0.0119 \n" ); document.write( "for 1, it is 9C1*11C5/38760=4158/38760=0.1073 \n" ); document.write( "for 2, 11880/38760=0.3065 \n" ); document.write( "for 3, 9C3*11C3/38760=0.3576 \n" ); document.write( "for 4, 9C4*11C2/38760=6940/38760=0.1788 \n" ); document.write( "for 5, 9C5*11C1/38760=0.0358 \n" ); document.write( "for 6, probability is 0.0022\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "expected value of students is sum of number * probability \n" ); document.write( "=0+0.1073+.6130+1.0728+0.7032+0.1790+0.0132=2.6885 students. \n" ); document.write( " |
